New Features
Voice Recognition
- When asking a question in VOIP while holding a ghost box you may get a response from the ghost!
- Certain phases or commands will give different results. Such as saying the victim's name may cause a hunt!
- There's a lot that can be done with this system so expect additional updates to this system in the future.
Ghost Appearance Animations
- Added ghost transition animation when beginning hunt or any form of attack.
- These include climbing out of mirrors and TVs, crab walking and scratching walls.
- This also acts as a grace period, so if you see it get ready for an attack!
Weather
- Added chance for rain or thunderstorm when beginning a case.
- In the future we'll add new weather variants and ways it affects ghost behavior.
Lobby and Case Files
- Added new case file selection screen that replaces map selection. Preview details about each case before starting one!
- Each ghost is now ranked in tiers (S- Deadly, A- Dangerous, B- Normal). For example "The Insane" is S tier. This allows previewing of difficulty. If you're up for a challenge pick an S or A tier ghost!
- Added ready up system for multiplayer in lobby.
- Added Halloween decorations to lobby. Beware something weird happens when turning off the lights!
